Our seminars are Demonstration. It is at the discretion of the guest chef to ask a volunteer participant on the counter for help on a recipe component.

For the Advanced Level Seminars, it is recommended to be a professional pastry chef or have at least some years of experience in the field due to the complexity of the recipes. If you are just starting your career, you are an amateur or a simple lover of the industry we have the Basic Level thematic seminars for you, conducted by renowned Greek chefs. The cost is much lower, but the quality level is just as high as the Advanced Seminars!

The language of the seminar is either in the native language of the guest chef or in English. During the seminar there is simultaneous interpretation in Greek and English. The recipe book is also available in Greek or English.

About one month before the seminar the participants receive a newsletter with all the information!

Of course, the point is to leave with no questions unanswered! You will be informed at the beginning of the seminar about how the guest chef prefers to answer your questions (during or at the end of the day).
